At Abington Vale Primary School, we value and celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of all our children. Our school community shares our vision to develop well rounded, confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. We do this by providing a welcoming, happy, safe, and supportive learning environment in which everyone is equal, where opportunities are for all, and all achievements are celebrated.
We are an oversubscribed modern primary school across two sites approximately a mile apart. Although both primary school sites are very different in appearance, both share the same ethos, values and dedication to high standards. In March 2018, the Pavilion Pre-School became part of our school and is located on the Billing Road.
Park Campus(the original Abington Vale site) was built in 1968, it is an attractive building surrounded by extensive grounds, which provide a stimulating environment for both learning and play for our 210 pupils.
Stirling Campus(located in Cliftonville) was completed and opened in September 2013. It is a fabulous office block conversion providing a unique and exciting learning opportunity for 210 children. Its modern and dynamic design is based upon Scandinavian school principals with large collaborative spaces.
